Advance Payment After
This Week.

The special attention of subscribers is di-
rected to the label on their papers showing
the date to which the subscription has been
paid. Under the new rule (of which several
weeks notice have been given in this col
umn), we shall strike from our list next
weLk the names of all subscribers who have
not paid for this paper beyond the 1st of
May. If any one does not get his paper
next week he can ascertain the reason by
consulting the label on this weeks paper
unless we are in fault. If mistakes are
made we shall be glad to correct the errors
when pointed out. We want all our pres
ent subscribers to continue with us on the
new basis, but we cannot relax the new
rule in any case, because we are convinced
that it is reasonable and sound, and better
for subscribers and better for us. Those
who are in arrears, but who would like the
paper continued to them, will find us dis
posed to be accommodating in regard to the
old account but inhexible in maintaining
the new rule of advance payment.
We shall soon send bills to those who are
in arrears and permit their papers to be
stopped, and an early settlement will be
required.
